I wouldn't try to categorize all atheists, myself – the viewpoints range from 'there is insufficient evidence for theism' to 'there is sufficient evidence for atheism' to 'the necessary being is mindless randomness' to elsewise.

What may be called its private life was confined to the hearth, and all easy – chair, and an old – fashioned occasional round table that was brought out upon the rug after business hours, from a corner where it elsewise remained turned up like a shining mahogany shield.
